Soul Pitcher 12" #1

( Optimus , Feb. 2001 )

A. One Way Ticket 9:23
B. Reset Devises 7:59

Time to make a review of this EP from Optimus Records, which is a label based in Israel, but this is for sure not any typical Israeli trance! Reset Devises, which is my favorite here, has a very clear sounding progressive production. It is a very beautiful track, with a melody a la Vibrasphere coming in, and a lot of echoing effects that build a real beautiful atmosphere around the track. But the music is slower and not as dark as some of the Vibrasphere tracks, and there is also different percussion and snares popping up in the track. Very clear and clean, top quality production! One Way ticket is faster and feels a little bit more like atmospheric techno, but it's still top quality and very good. It's a little bit more monotonous, but still very beautiful, building up with different atmospheric sounds and percussion. Sometimes I get the feeling that it sounds like the track The Archer by Sagitarius, and I don't really know what the style is called, but it's sounds to me a hybrid between atmospheric techno and atmospheric hardtrance- maybe it's the right description? I borrowed this from a friend, who is really much into house, so I guess if you like house you will like this, but I can't really see any reason why.

Recomendation

:
If you like Spiral Trax Int. or other Scando releasing labels, I think maybe you will like this.
